The UK low flying training area in Wales is the Machynlleth loop. I try to fly it at less than 2000ft, fast - using HUD I give it a go. what a great bit of fun. Scenery by Horizon, aircraft FA18 in acceleration. What a rush. Music by Wang Chung and MC.Snoopy (that's me!)

    A sad testament to the need for military. People miss the whole point! We are ALL SINNERS! God is Holy, Righteous, Just and True. We ALL fall short of God’s Glory. There is not ONE who is good! The ONLY one who fulfilled the requirements of Almighty God is His Son, Jesus Christ. He came into this dark and evil world, lived a life without Sin and there was no deception upon His lips. He then laid His life down for all mankind as a sacrifice of atonement. Three days after being laid in a tomb, God raised His Son to eternal life and Glory! That is a fact and it cannot be refuted. I realize that I have gone off on a bit of a rant. That’s ok. God deserves all of the Glory, Praise, Worship and Appreciation for what He has offered we detestable Sinners! War happens because human beings want power, glory, riches and all of lusts of the flesh. People say… Let’s have Peace around the world. It is NOT possible as long as there are those who reject Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, that will always be the case as so many are lost to the lies and deception of this world (Satan). Some will call me bad names. Some might start to think… ? It’s those who begin to think about God’s love that will be led to Salvation.

    My fondest memory is a beautiful Jaguar made an emergency landing at our airfield. the poor pilot had to be hosed off . While approaching his ground target, a strong down draft forced an quick upward correction. Causing him to slice a large & long piece of canopy due to stabilizing wise on an RN station antenna. After landing and pinning & choking this jet. I looked , being a courious person, Inside the jets barrel & noticed a “round” in the breaching mech. Responce was immediate. Avery lucky jet jockey. I never found out if this person continued to fly.

    The F-4 Phantom would be the best fighter in the world if they put in F-22 Raptor engines, phased array radar and laser cannons. It would be the fastest thing out there. If you like aviation art, please check out my new art book: Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson. Available on Amazon. 100 full color pictures.

Interesting they`d progress the video as if he had passed the course and gone on as a successful phantom pilot ? Anyhow,not to detract from any of the film..it was terrific viewing.

    I worked across the lake from the end of the main runway of Carswell Air Force Base in 1971. Those Phantoms would take off, two at a time, belching great streamers of dark smoke, the noise so loud the city had to build their schools underground, and our phone had to have a blinking light for a ringer else you would never know the phone was ringing. Even inside our shop you could not hold a conversation until they were well up in the sky. Two Phantoms were equal to one B-52 in terms of noise and smoking exhausts. All the military airplanes were magnificent sights, but I could not help but wonder what we were breathing after they flew by. My father in law, a Lt Col. Navigator-Bombadier in a Buff, was on Alert time after time during the late 60s, and later came back from bombing Hanoi with PTSB. - During the Cuban Missile Crises I was only ten, but worried because our home was far enough away from the base that we were sure to die horribly from radiation poisoning if The Bomb was used; later I was glad to be closer, within the 'quick death' ring if "they" nuked our busy SAC base. They were tools of war, flown by warriors.
